I am getting wierded out by 2 new folders that just poofed into my C: Drive under mysterious circumstances:
I was on my desktop minding my own business, then I clicked on My Computer (from the Start menu) and I got that "Windows Explorer has encountered an unexpected problem and has to close.." blah blah, Send, Dont Send, ETC.
Well I had to click on something so I did, and then the entire Windows interface blinked off for a couple seconds, then came back on.
I went into My Computer again, looked in my C: drive, and found these 2 wierd folders with HUGE hexidecimal-looking names.
One is called: 281885f0332ff0e167, the other is called: 025de114596b2c6a813859.They each contain the same file, exactly 699KB large, just called "update" with the subtitles "Microsoft Service Pack Setup/Microsoft Corporation". In Properties it says they were created and Modified August 11, 2006 (more than a month ago).
Could the error have poofed these files from a hidden state? or are they bad news?
Any ideas? What should I do?
